Soudal Quick-Step negotiate Volta Catalunya Stage 4

Soudal Quick-Step negotiate Volta Catalunya Stage 4

The 169km course between Sort and Lleida – one of the towns that featured on the inaugural edition of the Volta a Catalunya – was the only day of this year’s race that was designated for the faster finishers, meaning that our team’s main job was to guide Mikel Landa, who sits in second place in the overall general classification, safely through a hectic finale.

The Soudal Quick-Step riders did that without incident, on a day that was dominated by a three-man breakaway which was typical of a stage of this profile type. This was reeled in by the work of several sprinters’ teams with 25 kilometers to go, which led to Marijn van den Berg (EF Education – EasyPost) taking the win.

Volta a Catalunya continues on Friday with a hilly day that could belong to a breakaway.
